The only real task is to form the equation.
The numbers are 2n+1, 2n+3, 2n+5, the consecutive ODD integers.

%282n%2B3%29%282n%2B5%29=18%2B3%282n%2B1%29
Simplify and solve the quadratic equation for n.

Find three consecutive odd integers such as product of the two lager number is 18 more than three times the sum all three number, 


Let smaller integer be S

Then middle and largest are: S + 2, and S + 4, respectively

Product of 2 larger integers: (S + 2)(S + 4)



You should be able to form an equation from this and solve to determine the integers.
